Description
A well-managed and maintained development in a prime St Annes location, comprising five rental apartments plus a substantial holiday let, generating c.£92,100 annual income (Gross Rent Roll £47,100 p.a. fully let + Holiday Accommodation c.£45,000 p.a.).
At the asking price of £875,000, this equates to a gross yield of approximately 10.5%.
In addition to the five assured shorthold tenancy apartments, the property includes the Bentinck Residence, currently used as a holiday let accommodating up to 10 guests and generating c.£45,000 per annum-offering investors strong mixed-use income diversification.
Just moments from Ashton Park, St Annes Promenade and the town centre sits a distinguished Poritt House, one of the stone-built villas and apartments developed along St Annes' North Promenade for the Victorian/Edwardian middle classes identifiable by the diamond marking to the roof. This property has been lovingly maintained and is a hallmark example of William John Porritt's investment in the town's early growth.
Porritt Houses are locally recognised for their quality stonework and period character, built by industrialist William John Porritt, who chaired the St Annes Land & Building Company (1881-1896) and funded landmark development north of the pier. Owning this development means owning a slice of the resort's early architectural story.
The Property
Comprising five rental apartments, each set within the historic Poritt House as well as additional more private annexe building which would suit use as either owners accommodation or an Air BnB, in line with the current usage.
